Worldwide Revenue

Of course, the popularity of games results in big bucks for advertisers and game developers. Advanced metric systems help advertising execs and developers make smarter decisions. Ninja Metrics seeks to help make spending up to 40% more efficient.

Finding what locations or nations are most valuable is part of the proposed process. For example, it’s estimated that Germany’s ‘social value’ is 8% worse than thought because the initial estimation does not account for the average native’s social use versus actual amount spent.

So, a poor country may feature many active users who make frequent purchases. However, an ad budget is better spent in estimating how much the active users actually spend in totality. It may be a much better investment to advertise to a nation that has less users who purchase less frequently but make huge purchases when they do buy.

Most and Least Influence

Based on the above metrics, the Ukraine, Cambodia, and Algeria are among nations with the most influential users. Alternatively, Iceland, the USA, and Norway feature users with the least social influence. Moreover, it seems countries with high counts of ‘middle income’ families have the geographical influence. High-income, developed countries only hold 19% social ‘value’ for advertisers.

Which Facebook game will be the most popular next month or by the end of the year? Also, can advertisers and metric systems keep pace with the ever-changing whims and Web usage of people within the world’s nations?
